[3.4] ELE CLAW INQUISITOR | Farm Shaper on 3Link! + UberElder, UberAtziri | very Budget friendly!

Never posted before, thus hi all!

I just bought an Imperial Claw for 65c and got lucky with an Annulment Orb, thus ended up replacing mana regeneration with crit multi:

Before getting this claw I was playing with The Wasp Nest (stuck to the VP build though) - and so far I didn't have trouble in red tier maps (the Elder died pretty quickly on a t11 map).

Now I'm wondering if it would be better to sell the weapon to grab the helmet enchantment, settling with Wasp's Nest again for a while? (not sure because I'm having a hard time finding decently priced claws offering an as substantial damage boost as provided by the claw linked above)

what about rings that grant lvl 22 herald skill? in this case i obviously wouldnt have crit multi. how does that compare (same ring but lvl 22 herald instead of crit multi, assuming i can't afford a 21/20 herald)?

That claw is nice, but it isn't going to buy you a hat enchant.

1. your claw is not 30+ ex
2. flipping is buying cheap and reselling for (a lot) more, nothing else. using superior knowledge is part of this and in no way scamming.
3. scamming is by definition any illegal action that was not part of a deal or harming players in a way that is not dedicated by FREE PRICING or VALUEING of certain parts of gear.
4. i do abuse the lack of knowledge, that's was a good goblin does. i am very very good to be precise.

feel free to stop posting yourself, you are embarrassing yourself only further with comments like the above. also you are already risking a ban probably when support edits your post, take care buddy.

Nice ego show off at the end, the threat and the 'buddy'. Really shows what a class act you are...

1. Wrong
2. Wrong
3. Wrong

I'm not even gonna waste my time replying to 1, 2, 3, because it will go over your head anyways.
The interesting part is:

4. You call yourself a 'goblin'. It says it all to all 3rd parties viewing, and to other commentators who may get an offensive reply from you in the future, and to the support, who edited my post for breaking the rule: "Personally attack or cause harm to the reputation of others". Well you proudly call yourself a goblin, I don't think my words can compare to that in the smallest degree. You are ridiculous and not even worth talking to. Never again. Enjoy your life.

Is the general idea to get as much damage on rings as possible?

Opal ring with max. rolled base - 25% elemental damage,among with 35%+ increased elemental damage,70+ life,added Light/fire/cold damage to attacks(one of these),increased critical strike chance 24+%,to all elemental resistances 14%+ or single one resistant 35%+ depends which ones you need,can combines these 2 ones.
Also ideally you want some int 20+ at least so you don't need that Int nodes from the tree for Heralds/Enfeeble 20 lvl(155 int required).

Since id lose a pretty decent chunk of my resistance going that route with the rings, what items would you suggest I try to stack more of it? Thanks for the help btw.

you cannot reply to 1, 2 and 3 because you know it is true and basicially everyone including GGG handles it that way, thats why you are upset? go and play some SSF then, bro.

goblin and proud, does that really trigger you so hard? it is merely a meme, get over it.

Hello all,

Do you know why the build use Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ice instead of just using Wrath? I am increasing my DPS by 5-7% on POB with Wrath so I would like to know if there is a reason to keep the 2 heralds.

With Wrath I'm winning one slot for a new gem, hesitating between Vaal Haste and Empower if you have some suggestion too about that

Good question. Wrath is definitely a bit easier on the mana reservation than Thunder/Ice -- however, dropping Herald of Ice means giving up Shatter which is pretty freaking strong for map clearing. You slam a huge pack of mobs with a single attack, one Shatters and wipes out the rest of the mobs.

For bosses your guess is as good as mine.

Herald of Ice is used for clearing purpose, giving the ability to gain Onslaught and Innervate thanks to the aoe shatter kills. Herald of Thunder has been deemed borderline useless by many commentators throughout the 100+ previous pages, even by the OP.

You can perfectly choose to discard HoT, as it is not providing that much of a dps boost, if you have mana reservation problems/need the slot for something else.

You can also choose to discard HoI if you want, in favour of Wrath or something else like Arctic Armor (if you want increased defense and your gear level is good enough to not run a dps aura at all).
However, by discarding HoI your map clear speed will probably suffer.

Personnally, I chose to discard both heralds. Instead, I run Wrath-Enfeeble-Blasphemy-Enlighten (boots).

Did my clearspeed suffer? Not at all, because I made the following few changes to the original build setup:
- bought abyss jewels with x% chance to gain Onslaught on kill (rolled +max life, 2x flat ele damage and x% chance for onslaught). I got 2 of them, for a total of 13% chance to get onslaught on kill, and the uptime is satisfying. I will try with only one in the future (7 or 8% chance);
- moved the shield charge setup to the helm, got rid of Faster Attacks in favor of Blood Rage (Shield Charge-Fortify-Blood Magic-Blood Rage)
- bought a pair of Thunderfists and I use Frost Blades-Multistrike-Ancestral Call-Elemental Damage with Attacks. If you add the lvl 18 Added Lightning Damage and the flat lightning damage from the gloves it provides you with an effective 5L Frost Blades for clearing purpose. I was lucky enough to snatch a +1 level to socketed Gems corrupted pair with the color I wanted for cheap.

For clearing:
- I equip the Thunderfists and use Frost Blades. Molten Strike stays on my 6L chest, with the single target 3R3B setup in case I need it on a tough monster.
==> I have at my disposal 5L Frost Blades (right click), 6L Molten Strike (on another mouse button), Wrath, Enfeeble, Onslaught on kill (13% chance atm), Shield Charge, Blood Rage, OoS, Ancestral Protector, and the CWDT-IC-Lightning Golem setup.

For bosses:
- I usually dont bother changing anything for low red tier maps, and use Molten Strike as is.
- For high red tier maps and endgame bosses I just switch the Thunderfists with my pair of 2 abyss sockets Tombfists, on which I put a CWDT-Vortex setup in order to lay some aoe chilling effect down while I'm on top of the boss. I'm also considering changing Vortex for Tempest Shield, for the additional block chances instead. Didnt really thought of a better 2L CWDT setup apart from those 2, and I don't want an active skill setup like vaal haste/grace/lightning trap to keep the skillbar switching to a minimum. But one could perfectly go the Increased Duration - Vaal skill way on this slot.
==> I have at my disposal 6L Molten Strike, Wrath, Enfeeble, Shield Charge, Blood Rage, OoS, Ancestral Protector, the CWDT-IC-Lightning Golem setup and a 2L CWDT-Vortex setup that could be replaced by any 2L setup of one's choosing.

All in all, I find the clearspeed way more enjoyable and faster with this setup while the single target damage is basically the same as the original build.

The only difference is that I switch my pair of gloves and 1 skill on the skillbar (replacing Frost Blades with Molten Strike on my right click button for QoL) for high tier bosses, instead of switching 1 or 2 gems on the 6L setup.

You should be aware that by going this route you obviously lose some max life while clearing, since Thunderfists don't have any, compared to the +% max life and the flat life from abyss jewels of Tombfists, or the flat life and resists on a pair of Gripped Gloves. In my case, I loose about 350 health but I'm still just under 6k life which I find to be sufficient while clearing.

On a final note, I should add:
- that Frost Blades could be replaced with another skill, Lightning Strikes for example. I did not test it but I don't see why it wouldnt work;
- that this setup is also pefectly doable with a shaped/elder pair of rare gloves with "Socketed Gems are supported by Faster Attacks" and "Socketed Gems are supported by Faster Projectiles" or "Socketed Gems are supported by Slower Projectiles", but gloves like this with both mods lvl 18+ and just some life are expensive. While it would provide us with an effective 6L for Frost Blades, I'm not sure that it would be really better than going with Thunderfists, or at least I think it would require a hefty investment to do so. The gems setup would look like Frost Blades-Ancestral-Call-Elemental Damage with Attack-Added Lightning Damage (+Faster Attacks and Faster/Slower Projectiles).

Please also note that I made these changes once I already had some overall decent gear. I wouldnt recommend doing this without at least an okayish level of gear overall, or Frost Blades could prove to be lackluster in term of clearing power in higher tier maps.

Thx for your answers !

Gregoriensten , that is a cool idea to increase the clear speed, i may try it !
I like the idea of the defensive aura solution finaly, Grace would be my choice in that case i Think.
